GHT Creative Writing Group #3
Community, Workshops
Saturday 17th September 2022 1:30pm - 3:30pm
God's House Tower, Town Quay Road, Southampton, SO14 2NY
Join us for this new series of Creative Writing workshops in the beautiful surroundings of God’s House Tower hosted by Susmita Bhattacharya.
About this workshop: Lucky Dip
This workshop will focus on the artwork which surrounds us. In a city such as Southampton with such diversity and a variety of communities we would like to focus on and celebrate this diversity through a visual record. We will explore the exhibition and choose an artwork or artist which you connect with and try to enter the world of that artist, creating a written response to their work.
GHT Creative Writing Group #3 is on Saturday 17th September from 1.30pm – 3.30pm at God’s House Tower. Numbers are very limited. Book your free ticket here
